There are hundreds of Government & Private MEDICAL COLLEGES across the country. Admitting MEDICAL STUDENTS with out proper infrastructure, S Equipment, Work load, FACULTY, Paramedics, Ministerial, and supporting staff. By hook or crook they manage to take admission in excess . This can happen only in India or countries par below standard. Some how everyone support such things starting from MEDICAL COLLEGE MANAGEMENT, Concerned Universities, The state Government ( the Minister and the Secretary, DME and Dean , Director, principal, the Faculty above all the contaminated and cunning students and teachers). The out come such colleges become FILTH PRODUCING FACTORIES of Qualified QUACKS. Despite shortage Faculty, staff, etc . Neither the Head of Institution nor the Minister has informed the Apex Body ( MCI). Reduce the number of existing seats. Honesty being a rarity , we can\’t except any one to come forward to speak the truth. Despite displayed the Photos or Pictures of Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Budha. The slogan \” Satya meva Jayathe\” on our National emblem. When the truth is tampered and False is promoted the country looses its Reputation, it\’s CITIZENS are considered as taghs , touts, and not trustworthy. And their currency loose value, the passports are treated as piece of shit. Their CITIZENS are forced to stand in long queues, and even striped in the immigration like suspects , smugglers. What a shame?. Doctors are supposed to be Next to God, just imagine the Doctors designed in the Devils work shop, learnt lies, tolerated wrong doings, supported corruption, bribed for assessment marks and attendance. Didn\’t bother to learn properly, fail to develop required skills and becoming a Doctors who are more of a Liability than an asset to the Country. Despite taking all the benefits from the Society. Just make a Doctor the Government SPENDS more than core ( Rs 10000000). This is equal to making of 100 graduates of arts/ commerce. Or 5 to 10 Engineers. There is wrong notion in the public, an individual who has been a Doctor is on his own , It is Wrong, it is because of the tax payers money, the submission of the poor and helpless patients to develop the clinical skills, to some extent the Good Teaching Faculty and support by the parents. On his own He or she is like an ordinary individual standing in the long queue to withdraw 2000 Rupees.
